Congress of Toxicology in Developing Countries (CTDC)

CTDC Meetings

Congress of Toxicology in Developing Countries

Held every three years, Congresses on Toxicology in Developing Countries (CTDC) are sponsored by IUTOX. The meetings provide a forum for discussing toxicological problems facing developing countries in the future and exchanging views with toxicologists from all over the world, especially from developing countries and regions.

IUTOX Lifetime Achievement Award

The IUTOX Executive Committee is pleased to announce a newly created award, which will be presented for the first time during the opening ceremony at the 10th Congress of Toxicology in Developing Countries in Belgrade, Serbia (April 2018). The award will honor a distinguished scientist who has made lasting contributions to toxicology in countries where toxicology is underrepresented and will be a regular feature of future CTDC meetings. The Lifetime Achievement Award would not be possible without the generous support of our official sponsor, Current Protocols in Toxicology, a Wiley Brand.

Upcoming CTDC Meetings

The International Union of Toxicology (IUTOX) and the Serbian Society of Toxicology (SETOX) are pleased to announce that the 10th Congress of Toxicology in Developing Countries (CTDC 10) and the 12th Serbian Congress of Toxicology will be held on April 18–21, 2018, in Belgrade, Serbia. The call for scientific proposals for CTDC10 congress is underway and we need your contribution. Our theme is “From Science to Human and Environmental Health Benefits.”

Thank you in advance for your continuous support and contribution!
